DISCOVERY MUSEUM SCULPTURE CONTEST
Art Reach of Mid-Michigan posted the following notice on its website:
The Mt Pleasant Discovery Museum is seeking applications for the 2011 Sculptures for Discovery small sculpture competition.
The contest is open to artists over the age of 18 working in the Central Michigan area, and it is free to apply. Eight designs will be selected by committee. These finalists will receive up to $750.00 to be used to create a small sculpture that aligns with the theme: Children's Discovery and Exploration: Learn, Create, Explore, Grow.
The eight completed works will be exhibited throughout the 6 county region which will be served by MPDM. They will be featured in Museum publications, and once the museum opens they will become part of the exhibitory in the museum itself. Winning sculpture will be prominently displayed in the new Museum for one year and will be featured in contest publication.
Sculptures must fit the following parameters:
• No larger than 24 inches in height
• Suitable for indoor and outdoor environments
• "Kid" friendly
• Align with MPDM mission and values
The selection committee may include selected members of the board, art professors, community members, and members from the museum's Youth Advisory Board.
In addition to alignment with the museum's mission statement, the selection will be based on the artists preserving the museum's core values:
• All children deserve respect.
• Families are important as children's first teachers.
• Learning occurs in different ways.
• Stewardship of the Earth is everyone's responsibility.
• Communities are diverse and connected.
